A blue person throwsan object with an initial velocity of 25 m/s at an angle of 37 degrees. A green person stands 15 meters in front of the blue person and throws an object straight up. Assume that both objects are thrown from the same initial elevation. a) if the green person throws their object with an initial speed of 20 m/s at what time should they throw it strikes the other object while it is traveling upward? measure this time relative to when the blue person throws their object?
Could you please help me to A) find the magnitude of the initial velocity of the baseball, B) Find the magnitude of the velocity of the baseball just before it strikes the building, and C) Find the direction of the velocity of the baseball just before it strikes the building (expressed in degrees below the horizontal). Thank you so much! I don't even know how to begin.
During Shaun White's Gold medal run he reached a peak height of 5.6 meters above the halfpipe. If his takeoff angle was 65 degrees above the horizontal and he landed 1.4 meters lower than when he left the halfpipe answer the following questions.
1-What was the magnitude of his initial resultant velocity?
2-How long was he in the air?
3-How far did he travel horizontally down the halfpipe (assume that his horizontal velocity is directed down the halfpipe)?
